Chapter 337: Offering a Sacrifice to Brother Zhou
Wen Ge'er has been quiet and reserved since he was young. He doesn't like to talk much and doesn't want to go to crowded places. He is very withdrawn.
I think the type of girl he likes should be the kind of girl who is quiet and gentle, and blushes when she speaks.
The girl in red just now has good looks and medical skills. She is also lively and generous. She is not afraid to talk to strangers. She doesn't look like an ordinary woman. She is very good.
But, she probably isn't the type that Wen Ge likes.
Unexpectedly, Chen said with a smile: "I have already asked about the red-dressed girl who saved you just now. Her name is Yanyue, a very nice name, and she is a good match for our Brother Wen."
“…”
It really is her.
Brother Wen actually likes that kind of girl?
Could it be that his eyesight was blurry due to old age and he made a wrong judgment?
Zhou Yuanyou doubted his life.
"No, I have to go and take a look." Zhou Yuanyou still couldn't believe it. He ignored the painful wounds on his body and struggled to get out of bed.
Chen's chubby hand pressed on his shoulder, "You damned bastard, there's such a big wound on your chest, why don't you behave yourself? Be careful that the wound will split open."
Zhou Yuanyou said, "Be careful, it won't crack. Can you go and call your son? Lift me onto the ox cart and push it."
Chen refused, and Zhou Yuanyou actually pouted and started crying loudly. He seemed to be crying very sadly, with his facial features squeezed together in a grim manner, but he did not shed a single tear.
Chen was annoyed after hearing this, and finally called her son, carried the man onto the ox cart, and pushed it to Shi Ziyan's home.
.
At this moment, Zhou Wenchuan had already brought Jiujiu to Shi Ziyan's door.
On the way here, Zhou Wenchuan not only led Jiujiu carefully, but also constantly reminded Jiujiu to pay attention to her steps and not to trip. He was extremely attentive.
Shi Ziyan had just finished talking to Doctor Gu, whom he met by chance, and was wiping his tears as he saw him off.
Shi Ziyan had never cried in his life, but he suddenly cried like this. He also inexplicably wore the linen clothes that were only worn when someone was buried. It was self-evident what Doctor Gu said to Shi Ziyan.
Shi Ziyan sobbed and said, "Doctor Gu, thank you for telling me about Brother Zhou's condition. I will go to keep vigil for Old Zhou later."
"Brothers are always together. This is his last journey. We must send him off properly."
Jiujiu and Zhou Wenchuan were stunned.
Zhou Yuanyou is not dead.
What spirit are you guarding?
The two wanted to explain, but Shi Ziyan didn't give them a chance to speak.
Shi Ziyan wiped away tears and said in a loud voice, "Should I buy another coffin for Lao Zhou?"
"Oh, forget it."
"I remember when Lao Zhou celebrated his birthday, the coffin was already prepared, so I didn't have to prepare any more."
"I'm going to kill a sheep and a pig to offer sacrifice to Old Zhou."
Here, after someone dies, there is a custom of offering sacrifices to the deceased, and usually this is done by people with whom the deceased has a good relationship.
Shi Ziyan thought he had a good relationship with Zhou Yuanyou, so he naturally had to show off. He did what he said, "I'll go right away."
He also stopped Doctor Gu who was about to leave, "Doctor Gu, wait, don't leave yet. I suddenly remembered that no one is home today and I need help. Are you busy today? If not, can you help me?"
"The dead are the greatest. After I send the dead away, I will repay you for this favor."
Doctor Gu said, "I'm not busy."
"Then help me slaughter sheep and pigs."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenchuan stepped forward anxiously and said, "Uncle Shi, my grandfather is not dead. You don't have to wear sackcloth to offer sacrifices."
"Brother Wen is back!" Shi Ziyan cleared his hoarse voice, "You don't have to comfort me. Doctor Gu told me about your grandfather's condition, and I know it best."
"The poison your grandfather was poisoned with caused death at three o'clock in the morning. The King of Hell wanted you to die at three o'clock in the morning and could not keep you alive until five o'clock."
"Back then, one of my colleagues was poisoned to death."
"The poison will kill you."
"Even gods can't save him."
Shi Ziyan didn't believe Zhou Wenchuan's words, he only believed Doctor Gu and himself.
Zhou Wenchuan was not good at speaking, and he kept repeating the same few words, "My grandpa is not dead", "My grandpa is not dead". Unfortunately, no one, whether Shi Ziyan or Doctor Gu, believed him.
The two of them went to the sheepfold in the backyard to kill a sheep in preparation for the sacrifice, and both of them had heavy expressions on their faces.
After Jiujiu caught up with him, he saw Shi Ziyan trying to catch a sheep in the sheepfold, but the sheep were running around and bleating. He patted his chest and said, "Master Shi, Master Zhou is really not dead. I saved him."
"You don't have to kill the sheep, it's a waste."
"You saved him?"
“Hehehe.”
Doctor Gu sneered.
Shi Ziyan glanced at Doctor Gu and said, "Little girl, what are you bragging about? Doctor Gu's medical skills are comparable to those of the imperial physician. It's a pity that he has been living in seclusion in this mountain village for many years, otherwise he would be the most outstanding imperial physician."
"How can you possibly save someone who he couldn't save? Hey, young lady, don't tell lies or you'll never get married."
Jiujiu exhaled, spread his hands weakly, and said: "If that's the case, then you can kill me."
"You can kill whatever you want. They are not mine anyway. I won't feel bad if I kill them all."
After hearing Jiujiu's words, Zhou Wenchuan looked at Jiujiu with even more admiration.
This girl has a good heart, but she is decisive and doesn't waste time talking nonsense. She is a straightforward person.
He liked it more and more.
There were sparkling stars in Zhou Wenchuan's eyes as he looked at Jiujiu.
Shi Ziyan was a rough man who didn't notice any of this. He snorted coldly at Jiujiu's words and didn't respond. He found a knife and prepared to slaughter the sheep himself, while Doctor Gu held the sheep for him.
Originally in this village, one had to pay to hire someone to slaughter sheep and pigs. After Shi Ziyan moved to this village, he also paid to hire someone to do it a few times, but gradually, he came on his own.
He felt there was no need to spend money to hire someone for something that could be solved with a single blow of the knife.
He can do it.
At this moment, he was holding a knife, aiming at the sheep's vitals, ready to cut it, and the next moment, Zhou Yuanyou, who was pushed by a ox cart, came over.
Zhou Yuanyou saw that he was going to kill a sheep and asked, "Brother, why are you killing a sheep for no reason?"
Because Zhou Yuanyou was injured, his voice was a little low, different from his usual voice, and a little weak.
Shi Ziyan did not recognize Zhou Yuanyou's voice, nor did he look at the person. He thrust his knife into the sheep's neck. When the sheep fell to the ground, twitched a few times, spit out blood, and died, he casually said, "It is for my brother Zhou, who passed away today."
Zhou Yuanyou: “…”
Pass away on a crane?
The space froze in an instant.
Zhou Yuanyou and Chen, who was pushing the ox cart, stopped talking. They looked at each other and saw deep speechlessness and the hidden urge to beat someone up on each other's faces.
Which bastard said he was dead? Who said that?
Zhou Yuanyou was furious. No one likes to hear such unlucky words as that they are dead.
